I still can't get it to look like the rest of the 'What's going on' though.......

Then you did something wrong somewhere. The code I posted is standard vb type code.

Here's the updated pic, Amy.

I've included my FORUMHOME template, hope i'm okay doing this:

EDIT: Removed code as it was massive and no need for it now man! :devious:

That isn't where I put mine so I can't help you with that, sorry.

If you put it where I put in the instructions, it works fine.

I have, that's why it's so weird. Maybe another mod is conflicting perhaps...

I guess you do have it where it is supposed to be. Sorry about that.

Make sure you have it that way in the skin you are viewing it in. If you have more than one skin, you might want to check that.

Hang on a minute, this is the 'edited mod' by you isn't it, where the list looks more like the rest of the who's online bit?

Not just the basic one first release by amykhar?

That's correct. Isn't that the one you asked for in the thread here?

yeah, but I can't seem to find anything in the code that represents the icon image for that group, eg. Calendar icon for upcoming events, birthday icon for birthdays, etc. I just can't work out why it wont show the section image for them.

I wanted it to look like this:

Boofo · #51 08-02-2005, 11:06 AM

I forgot to post my version of the hottopics template. Sorry about that. Here it is and the icon you need to change is in there.

HTML Code:

<tr>
<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/calendar.gif" border="0" /></td>
<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$topicstring</div></td>
</td>
</tr>

Amy, you might want to add this, too.
